A driver who narrowly escaped the crash with his son wanted to recognize Barton. He worked with his employer, H.M. Brown and Associates, to donate a scooter to Barton.

"We are auto brokers, so we help people acquire their means of transportation," one employee said while giving Barton the scooter. "And so, we decided to pull some money together and give back, and we got you a little present."

Barton was shocked.

"That's the perfect color too!" he said of the red scooter.

The scooter was the only thing Barton specifically asked for; he wanted a way to get around more easily.
